SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969; the Council on Environmental Quality Guidelines (40
CFR part 1500); and the Soil Conservation Service Guidelines (7 CFR
part 650); the Soil Conservation Service, U.S. Department of

Federal Building, room 152, 100 Centennial Mall North; Lincoln, NE
68508-3866; telephone: (402) 437-5300.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The environmental assessment of this
federally assisted action indicates that the project may cause
significant local, regional, or national impacts on the environment. As
a result of these findings, Ronald E. Moreland, State Conservationist,
has determined that the preparation and review of an environmental
impact statement is needed for this project.
The project concerns a plan for flood prevention, water quality and
recreation improvement. Alternatives under consideration to reach these
objectives include systems for conservation land treatment, structural
measures, and non-structural measures.
A draft environmental impact statement will be prepared and
circulated for review by agencies and the public. The Soil Conservation
Service invites participation and consultation of agencies and
individuals that have a special expertise, legal jurisdiction, or
interest in the preparation of the draft environmental impact
statement. Meetings will be held at various locations within the
watershed and announced thirty days prior to date to be held to
determine the scope of the evaluation of the proposed action. Further
information on the proposed action or the scoping meetings may be
obtained from Ronald E. Moreland, State Conservationist, at the above
address or telephone (402) 437-5300.
